Thanks for sharing and telling the secret handshake. :)

It does indeed work on Linux, I tested it on a 64-bit Kubuntu Gutsy 
system which features a mobile NVidia 8400M chipset (it's a laptop) 
which can barely take the load (2-3fps, but additionally it's a debug 
build) with its limited 8 stream processors and slow clock.

But hard shadows and per pixel lighting worked and really look cool.

I didn't like the shadowy-uniform look inside buildings when no lights 
are around and sunshine was set to Midday, had a sterile and unnatural 
impression. But that's probably heavy work-in-progress.

Not considering the slow speed on my setup, hard shadows and lighting 
look good so far.

What range of fps are you getting on your system?
